On Thursday night, late night dealt with another curveball: Donald Trump reportedly called several predominantly non-white nations “shithole countries” at a bipartisan immigration meeting, in a comment that spread like wildfire across the media. Although the news didn’t go viral until late in the day, most hosts still managed to address this racist comment in their programs. Stephen Colbert put it, perhaps, the most bluntly: “Sir, they’re not shithole countries,” the comedian said. “For one, Donald Trump isn’t their president.”

According to The Washington Post, the president had asked, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”—referencing Haiti, El Salvador, and several African countries. The president’s preference? Bring in more immigrants from places like Norway.

“You know what I’m saying?” Colbert said in his best Trump voice. “Norwegian people? You catch my drift? People with blond hair who need a lot of sunscreen. You get what I’m saying? I’m saying I’m a racist.”

Trevor Noah, who hails from South Africa, was similarly merciless. “Guys, I don’t know how to break this to you,” Noah said. “But I think the president might be a racist.”

“You know what?” Noah continued. “Personally, as someone from South Shithole, I’m offended, Mr. President. O.K.? I’m offended. Because not only does he think brown countries are shitholes, he thinks what, we’re never gonna know what he said? I mean, don’t get me wrong; it might take a few weeks. But as soon as the news donkey reaches our village, we’ll be so mad.”

To Noah, the most damning part of Trump’s comments was his suggestion that the U.S. bring in more immigrants from Norway. “He didn’t just name a white country; he named the whitest country,” Noah said. “He didn’t even go with a more subtle country that might leave it up in the air, you know? Like, ‘We need to let in more people from Portugal!’ And you’re like, ‘Hmm what does that mean?’ No, he goes with Norway: people super white, so white they wear moonscreen. That’s how white they are.”

And then there was Jimmy Kimmel, who sarcastically rationalized the president’s words: “Listen, I’m sure the fact the countries he described as shitholes are mostly populated by people of color and the immigrants he wants from Norway is a coincidence. Because if it wasn’t, it would mean we voted for a racist—like, a real one—and we’d have to get pitchforks and chase him out of the White House.”

Kimmel added that he’d assumed the White House would deny what Trump said; it did not. Instead, Kimmel said, “They just tried to spin it.”

“It really is unfathomable,” Kimmel added. “You just can’t believe that this is the guy running our country . . . Putin, you really got us good.”
